The Romanian foreign ministry took note of the publication of the Russian Federation’s government decision to withdraw from the bilateral agreement of 2005 concerning the opening of a Romanian consulate general in Rostov-on-Don. According to a news release issued on Tuesday, Romania has not been officially notified yet on this decision. At present, apart from the embassy in Moscow, Romania also operates a consular office in Rostov-on-Don and one in Sankt Petersburg. This summer the Romanian foreign ministry requested Moscow to reduce the number of diplomatic personnel at the Russian embassy in Bucharest by 40.
